Why is there an install directory with the security patch?

btw in the config what's the suggestion - i've used apc, xcache and memcached in the...

Upgraded dev copy of the forum on php5.6.26 fine (set max_execution_time at 600 for the major ip6 changes) Everything seems fine.

Really appreciate you doing these updates, Paul.

I'm moving servers over the next few days and upgrading so I'll be running my main forum on this with php5.6 and an identical dev board (behind...

Hi Mark,

PHP 5.4.25
MYSQL 5.5.33-cll-lve

I'm happy enough staying with 4.1.11 pl3 if it's safe. It's only a small forum that I use to interact with customers and no-one...
